I'm trying to retrieve some files from Milton via FTP, and I've run
across .sda files. What do I do with these, does somebody know? I've used
Kermit to download them to my C64, and ARC appears to be looking for .arc
files.

What this means is that the one .SDA file contains one or more files crunched and archived together with ARC. To dissolve it, all you have to do is load it into your computer like a normal program and run it: it will automatically dissolve itself. .SFX files are a similar concept, only created with a different archive program. -Rob Knop rknop@tybalt.caltech.edu

LOAD and RUN 'em.
